If I'm correct, there are a bunch of players, now keepers, whose owners can't carry those players to next season. Only one of those keepers can be kept next season, for $50 on a franchise tag. From the now confirmed managers and keepers this is true for:

Apollo: Aldrigde, Howard, Rondo
Mack North: Wade, Williams, Griffin

I'm up for trade discussions if you guys want to get some of the value over $30 you'll lose at the end of the season. The earlier, the better.

Here's a quote from the rules... "Each player can be tagged as a keeper twice (ie: you draft the player, you play the season and then you use your keeper tag on the player so that he returns to your team the following season. You can do this two times and as such this will result in you being able to hold a player on your roster for up to three seasons."

Since this only year 3 of the league, no one has to forgo keepers, or declare them to be franchise players yet unless they want to guarantee they stick around longer. That's if I'm reading this right haha

But I agree Soft Euro, that it would be a good idea to post the rules in this thread somewhere so that we can all become reacquainted with them.

With "next season" I meant 2013-2014. So I agree. That means tradingtime for 3th year keepers this season. And I'm Everyone's favorite trading partner.

I'll be franchising D12 so Rondo and Aldridge are on the market if you want to talk trades. I don't think I'll let them hit the open market.

Rudy Gay falls into that category for me. This will be the 3rd season I'll have him and he's fantastic but i don't think he's worth the $50 franchise price tag. Rudy is super reliable, plays big minutes and is a stat stuffer right across the board! And yes that is a pitch I will be looking to move him.
